I don't have overheating problems on my Acer Aspire 5920.
What do you have the laptop sitting on? Table? Can you raise is to get
some more airflow under the bottom?
I have a length of timber under the back of the laptop to raise the
back and provide a better typing angle, doesn't look pretty but is
cheap and works.
